Well, I never had a gay thought in my life........untill seeing fernandez's
near-perfect girlish skin.....and fat, feminine features

Obesity is hardly the exclusive territory of women -- uh, gimme the number 3
combo, the two-thirds pounder with curly fries, and upsize that, please -- and
as I was saying, near-perfect skin would seem to imply no need for makeup, yet
all the people I know who use makeup, are women. No, I don't want to upsize my
2/3 pounder, just the fries and the drink, thanks! Er, where was I? Oh, yes,
that line about never having had a gay thought in your life was good, except
that in so very many posts, you injected the subject from out of thin air, as
it were. We might be talking about chess, for example, and wham -- here comes
an insult or "observation" by Trollboy Repa containing homosexual content,
without any rational explanation. This is why you have been "diagnosed" as
being either a latent homosexual, or else a severe homophobic paranoid
schizophrenic. The latter being much harder to explain (let alone, spell), I
suggest we begin our next session concentrating mainly on the former.
Shall we say, Hardees on Sunday at 1:30am?

Nick-the-liar has a distinct tendency to whine whenever another poster (as
opposed to himself) snips irrelevant parts of a post, when constructing a
reply. That procedure is clearly outlined in the FAQ, and is highly
recommended as a way to prevent postings from doubling, tripling, quadrupling,
and so forth, in length.
Naturally, whenever Nick-the-liar wants to snip something out, it's okay, and
there is no need to consult the original poster for permission to do so. This
is called hypocricy, Nick. Think about it.

Nick-the-liar did not "claim" that Trollboy Repa was the lowest-rated, but
his list gave that impression, by including *only* players higher-rated than
the Trollboy. The inclusion of players who clearly outclassed Repa, while at
the same time, ommitting players like Nemmers, for example, is biased. There
is no objective reason why Repa must play only his superiors, even if,
psychologically speaking, Nick wishes to see him lose.

To put things in slightly better perspective, here is another list
with Repa no longer the bottomdweller:

This is not so hard, now is it? The key is to remove yourself from the
equation. Remove your burning desire to see Repa LOSE. Allow the rational
part of you to gain control for once, and slide *emotion* into the background.
There now, it becomes clear that Repa is not necessarily the sort of player who
must rest at the very bottom of a listing of players, by rating. :-)

For the record, I did *not* write that I think that I am 'really good'
at playing chess.

For the record, I did not write that Nick wrote that he thought he was really
good at chess.
What I wrote was based upon the comment Nick had just posted, which stated
that Nick had beaten a....a... the rating I am searching for has been SNIPPED!
:-)
He claimed he had beaten a high-rated player, and the back-of-the-envelope
calculations might put him anywhere above 2300. Now then, pretending to be
modest, while at the same time, bragging about such a victory, is hypocritical,
isn't it Nick? If you wish to appear modest, talk about your defeats (if you
have any, that is!) :-)

Hmm. When Trollboy misrepresents Matt's rating, nobody bothers to correct
him. But when I re-post his previously posted numbers, I am nailed for being
imprecise. I also reused Nick's posted numbers without checking them, but
nobody has whined about that, yet.
Interestingly, this would seem to move Nemmers up much closer to the
Trollboy's actual rating, and sadly, leaves me all alone at 1200. But the
Trollboy could never be satisfied with a brilliant victory over a mere 1200....

I dropped a few to push Trollboy Repa closer to the middle of the pack,
and my numbers above were primarily lifted from Nick's post,

As I said, I lifted Matt's rating from posts here on this newsgroup.

There may not be enough "headroom" to fit him and Repa in the same room
together for a match.

I was considering the Astrodome....

I have no interest whatsoever in playing any OTB chess against Jason Repa.

Of course not. Nobody plays their best, after getting beat-up! Too bad
Andre the Giant is dead, for he could have at least given Trollboy Repa a
decent fight.

Okay, but does he realize that getting beat-up is part of the deal? :-)

I refer you back to the Trollboy's anno-Fritzated games, which were not so
impressive as to assume he warrants a "challenger" of the Bauer/Bachler class.

IMO, although we are merely talking about a hypothetical match which may
never happen (thanks to Repa's psycho threats), his closest match may be Sam
Sloan or Bill Brock. I am of course, talking about playing chess, OTB -- not
wrestling, jiujitsu, or any of that stuff (where Repa, at 7' 10" and 600
pounds, has no equal). :-)
